Get the stylish nails with our tips for perfect manicure

For nails care try a nail file that has different uses, like buffing, shining and shaping. This makes nails look great and shiny even without a nail polish.

Never skip a base coat. The natural oils in nails make polish chip, and a base coat protects the color from these oils, extending a manicure’ s life span by several days.

To make your manicure last a full week, apply a base coat, nail polish, and a top coat along the edge of your nail tip. This quick trick helps double the life of your mani, protecting your nails from a water damage and prevent the polish from chipping.

After applying your polish, sink your fingertips into an ice water for a minute. It will help dry your nails quicker. You can also use your hair dryer set on‘ cool’ air. The hot one will just make bubbles and ruin your polish.

Instead of one thick coat, that will only dry at the top layer leaving your manicure vulnerable to smudges, apply multiple thin coats. Let each dry for at least five minutes.

Once lacquer is on, seal it with a slow-setting topcoat that leaves a harder, more protective finish. Quick-dry evaporate so fast, they leave polish soft, mushy, and prone to denting.
